Posted For 33rd Kings Royal Weekend
World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series Return For Expanded
Three-Day Event July 14-15-16
ROSSBURG, Ohio (July 7, 2016) – The 33rd running of Kings Royal
Weekend, expanded this year to include a full World of Outlaws
Craftsman Sprint Car Series race on Thursday, July 14, already promises
fans more racing and Eldora Speedway officials today announced more
prize money for the racers.
Saturday’s tradition of $50,000-to-win and the pomp and circumstance
that surrounds racing’s most unique victory remains untouched – but
that is the only position that does not see a major increase for
2016. Over half of the 40-lap Kings Royal finishers will earn
double the money posted in previous years. Highlights include:
2nd) $20,000; 5th) $10,000; 10th) $5,000; 24th) $3,000 and the first
non-transfer from the B-Feature will receive $2,000. All
B-Feature and C-Feature positions received healthy increases as well.
Thursday’s “Jokers Wild” will pay $10,000 to the winner while Friday
night’s “The Knight Before” has been increased to $12,000-to-win.
Eight different drivers have won the Kings Royal over the past eight
years. Shane Stewart is the defending winner of both the Kings
Royal and The Knight Before.
Tickets and camping for all three nights of the 33rd Kings Royal
Weekend, sprint car racing’s annual showcase featuring the stars of the
World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series versus Ohio’s best,
including the Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions, are available
